FAQs for Arbourthorne
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How long before I can shower?
Normally by the following day. We will confirm before we leave.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
Not until you know the crack is not letting water through. Look for damp or stains below.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you cover Arbourthorne?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Arbourthorne from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

What else we do in Arbourthorne
Different materials, different repairs
Enamelled steel
Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Stone resin
Stone resin trays are popular because they’re rigid and low-profile. A flat, solid base is essential, and repairs are matched to the gel coat.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Avoid strong descalers and bleach
- Use the extractor fan
Store heavy bottles on a shelf, not on the tray, to avoid chips.
A small crack lets in a little water every time you shower, and over months that can rot the floor. An early repair is far cheaper than floor repairs.
When a repair is not the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaking waste fittings
- Trays cracked in several places
- Damage below the tray that needs a builder
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We ensure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- The repair is colour matched, or the entire tray gets a new finish.
- The tray is left to cure and can usually be used the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Signs you need shower tray repair in Arbourthorne
On timber floors, movement can crack a tray, especially if the tray wasn’t bedded properly. On solid floors, cracks generally point to an uneven base.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Edge chips from dropped bottles
- Scratches from cleaning or grit
- A crack across the base
- Movement when you stand on it
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
